Uber & Volkswagen Malaysia, together with 52 of Malaysia’s biggest celebrities, are coming together in a massive, city-wide charity fundraising project for 31 different charities.
On 12th of December 2014, from 10am to 5pm, your local celebrities will be driving in vehicles specially provided by Volkswagen, picking up riders through the Uber platform and raising funds for their charity of choice.
All funds collected from these Celebrity Drives will then be matched by both Uber and Volkswagen Malaysia, on a reciprocal basis depending on the number of trips made, and channeled to the 31 different charities.
